Former Olympian Barriga eyes first knockout win in upcoming fight

So far, so good for Mark Anthony Barriga

The former Olympian has had a dream start in his professional career, amassing three wins in just seven months.

Barriga credited his smooth transition to the people around him, among them are former interim WBA World titleholder Drian Francisco, and reigning IBF world champion and fellow Davaoeño Jerwin Ancajas. According to him, the two helped fasttrack his development as a boxer as he was able to get valuable tips from the two champions.

As Barriga heads to his fourth fight, he plans to finally earn his first knockout win. He has been dying to show all his hard work in training, and to him, it will add more fulfillment to his fledgling career.
